#19: This week, Liz and Bryce The Third dive into a very special and personal conversation about music, something that has always been close to Bryce's heart. For Bryce, music is an art form for self-expression, and it has helped him build a relationship with himself. When he got sober, Bryce thought he might never be able to experience music again — let alone create it. However, in recovery Bryce has created his own home within music, listening and creating the way he wants to.

Liz also touches on her own relationship with music, noting how much like Bryce, music allows her to express her emotions in a safe, cathartic way — freeing the feelings that feel 'stuck.' Tune in to hear more about Bryce's journey, from his early inspiration by Eminem to rediscovering his love for music with his community in rehab, and now to sharing his artwork with the world.

#18: Chris Clemens (he/him) is a born-and-raised resident of Rochester, New York, who got sober just one month before his 17th birthday in May 1996. For many years in early recovery Chris followed a practice of total abstinence. But nearly 30 years later, his approach to recovery has evolved. Today, Chris is a passionate advocate for non-alcoholic beers and mocktails. While he acknowledges this path isn't for everyone, he's created nonROCaholic, a blog dedicated to helping his local community discover non-alcoholic options.

In this episode, Bryce The Third and Liz sit down with Chris to discuss his journey — from getting sober at a young age to how sobriety stuck over the years. We also explore his motivation behind creating nonROCaholic, the power of "trying it on" for easing into behavioral changes, and the rise of sober curious people and mocktails in today's culture.

Check out www.nonrocaholic.com for your guide on where to find tasty mocktails, nonalcoholic beer, juices, sodas, and more in The Finger Lakes Region of New York. You can find them on Instagram @nonrocaholic and Facebook at Nonrocaholic.
